drying, nauseating active zinc flavor (necessary)

Pros: Shortens duration and severity of common cold
Cons: Tastes awful after a day of use.
Summary: So you have a cold. Now what? Suffer? Blow your nose every five seconds and complain about the current administration? I got a better idea – use Zicam, blow your nose a lot less, and get rid of your cold twice as quick. Just don’t use this version of ...

Pros: Effective reduces symptoms, severity and duration of colds if used shortly after symptoms appear.
Cons: Taste
Summary: I was moving and burning the candle, once again, at both ends. I'd work 8 hours and go to the new home for an additional 6. It was about zero degrees outside and feet tend to get wet with the snow on the ground. Something had to give, this time it was ...

Cons: Mint flavor stays in my mouth for hours.

Pros: Does keep my cold symptoms usually at about 3-4 days
Cons: Taste and after effects
Summary: Have used the gel swabs for the last 2-3 years and they worked great. The gel felt like snot, but it also helped keep the inside of my nose moist. This new oral spray is horrible tasting-not so much at first, but then it turns nasty and screws up your

Pros: gets rid of cold early
Cons: tastes horrible, makes your tounge numb-feeling
Summary: I've used Zicam products before. This is my least favorite. After spraying it in your mouth, and holding it for 15 seconds and then not drinking anything for 15 minutes, my taste buds feel very numb. And not to mention it really does not taste

Pros: stops the cold virus from stopping me.
Cons: it's a pain to keep this stuff at work, car, and home.
Summary: I've used both the nasal gel and oral spray for about 4 years and they work great. some say the spray is chalky but i disagree. it does leave a slight taste behind, but it's quickly gone. thing is, how long do you want the cold to last, and how bad do
